These two teams should be evenly matched.

The team lost two of their last four and finished the college football regular season with a 6-6 record. With the departure of standout running back Fluff Bothwell, the Jaguars will rely on quarterback Gio Lopez to carry the team to a final victory in 2024.

Meanwhile, the Western Michigan Broncos are thankful to be bowl-bound after losing three of their last four and finishing 6-6 on the season.
